Honors Convocation Award Winners

Hood's student-athletes combined to tally 36 awards at the College's Honors Convocation. A complete list is below. Among the Awards was the White Blazer Award. The White Blazer Award, established by the Athletic Department, honors one student-athlete from men's athletics and women's athletics from the senior class in recognition of outstanding academic accomplishments, significant contributions to the community, and excellence in intercollegiate athletics.  The award is grounded in a rich Hood tradition when a single member of each graduating class from 1921 to 1969 was honored as a White Blazer Girl for outstanding achievements in academics and athletics.

The 2021 winners of the White Blazer Award are Jake Howell (baseball) and Jenna Frick (women's golf).
